I am truly blessed to have wonderful friends in this life. I have friends that I can count on when times are tough and friends that I can laugh with until the tears are streaming down my face. I have friends whose faces I see frequently and I have friends through the blogging world that I could pass right by on the street, not recognizing them! Regardless of our connections, I am so thankful for all the friends that add to my life in so many ways. Thank YOU for being a friend!
The challenge this week at My Craft Spot is "Friends are the best". I made this card using one of the new stamps from the My Craft Spot Friends and Neighbors - Inside and Out set. (I rounded the stamp by positioning it that way on my stamping block.) I designed this card having been quite inspired by Tracey from Trace-Elementz. She has such an amazing style and always has such a delightful combination of doilies, buttons, flowers, lace, etc.!
